Magnetic-field-dependent quasiparticle energy relaxation in mesoscopic wires.
In order to find out if magnetic impurities can mediate interactions between quasiparticles in metals, we have measured the effect of a magnetic field B on the energy distribution function f(E) of quasiparticles in two silver wires driven out of equilibrium by a bias voltage U. In a sample showing sharp distributions at B=0, no magnetic field effect is found, whereas, in the other sample, round...
متن کاملSize Dependent Thermopower in Mesoscopic AuFe Wires
We have combined electron heating experiments and noise thermometry to perform quantitative measurements of the thermopower in mesoscopic samples. This new measuring technique allows us to detect finite size effects in the thermopower of narrow AuFe wires with an Fe concentration ranging from 50 to 3000 ppm. The size effects emerge when reducing the width of the wires below .300 nm and may be r...
متن کاملEnergy Distribution Function of Quasiparticles in Mesoscopic Wires
We have measured with a tunnel probe the energy distribution function of Landau quasiparticles in metallic diffusive wires connected to two reservoir electrodes, with an applied bias voltage. The distribution function in the middle of a 1.5-mm-long wire resembles the half sum of the Fermi distributions of the reservoirs. The distribution functions in 5-mm-long wires are more rounded, due to int...
متن کاملEnergy dependence of quasiparticle relaxation in a disordered fermi liquid.
A spectroscopic method is applied to measure the inelastic quasiparticle relaxation rate in a disordered Fermi liquid. The quasiparticle relaxation rate gamma is deduced from the magnitude of fluctuations in the local density of states, which are probed using resonant tunneling through a localized impurity state. We study its dependence on the excitation energy E measured from the Fermi level. ...
متن کاملMagnetic-field asymmetry of nonlinear mesoscopic transport.
We investigate departures of the Onsager relations in the nonlinear regime of electronic transport through mesoscopic systems. We show that the nonlinear current-voltage characteristic is not an even function of the magnetic field due only to the magnetic-field dependence of the screening potential within the conductor. We illustrate this result for two types of conductors: A quantum Hall bar w...
